Europe Rape Africa and Blacks keeps them sitting in diminution and giggled

Who then were these Negroes on whom the world preyed for five hundred years? In defense of slavery and the slave trade, and for the upbuilding of capitalistic industry and imperialistic colonialism, Africa and the Negro have been read almost out of the bounds of humanity. They lost in modern thought their history and culture. All that was human in Africa was deemed European or Asiatic. Africa was no integral part of the world because the world which raped it had to pretend that it had not harmed a man but a thing. In view of the present world catastrophe, I want to call the history of Africa. I want to tell its story so far as distorted science has not concealed and lost it. I want to appeal to the past in order to explain the present. I know how unpopular this method is. What we moderns, we wisest of the wise, to do with the dead past? Yet, "All that tread they globe, are but a handful to the tribes that slumber in its bosom," and who are we, stupid blunderers at the task these brothers sought to do—who are we to forget them?
